When I heard about the vegan couple who nearly starved their child, I thought it was a case of a misunderstanding or at the least an accident, because a unless you're eatting nothing but leaves all the time you can't starve on a vegetarian diet.

But then I looked into it and found out this couple fed their child nothing but nuts,seeds, and tea.

If I was the judge, I wouldn't release them, I'd throw the book(made from organic paper) at this couple.

First of all these parents should of known better. Couldn't they see that the kid was loosing weight? The child weighed like 9 pounds. If I was in their situation I'd see a nutritionist  as soon as I found out I was pregent. Raising a Vegetarian child is a whole another bunch of bananas. If you're a Vegetarian that consumes milk or eggs diet is not a problem, but a Vegan diet in some cases is very strict and you'll need to form a game plan if you're going to make your child one, and you can't put them on crazy restrictive diets because they are growing. Maybe you could live off of seeds and tea, but not a child. Childern need all of their nutritents from different foods, and you can't feed them only one thing all the time.

Crazy people like this Queens Vegan couple that starved their child makes us Vegetarians look bad, and the flesh(meat)-eaters think that we'll all crack pots. Some of these Vegetarians (espeically Vegans) need to stop it with these crazy diets. Eatting no meat is one thing, but then they take it too far with the "I also don't eat white sugar because it's processed with animal bones" or "I only eat raw food", "I don't eat honey because bess have rights"and "I only eat seed and fruits cause most of my food comes from the sun" madness.  Humans didn't evolve to eat crazy diets. Just keep it simple. Stop knick picking food. The only way not to consume all the pesticides and the chemical crap that gets into food is to grow it yourself. So unless you could do that I suggest you not to sweat it. You'll gonna die from something anyway, so don't spent it worrying about silly stuff.
